Kyriacos Dionysiou, more commonly known as Greek Jack, took down his second Dusk Till Dawn Deepstack from 6-9 March 2014, winning £32,500 and a UKIPT Nottingham seat in the process.
In all 260 players took advantage of the £150,000 guarantee, with 53 of those playing the online day one, and 73 making it through to day two.
DTD veteran Greek Jack got the better of Peter Evans heads-up, binking a queen on the river in the final hand.
With the stacks almost equal, Evans limped the button and Dionysiou bumped it up to 400k, Evans making the call. The flop brought A-5-10, with Dionysiou check-calling 600k. A king on the turn saw Evans jam all-in, with Greek Jack calling with pocket queens against Evans’ flopped top pair. The sweat on the river was intense and brought a £32,500 payout for Greek Jack as he binked the queen.
The final table saw Grantham restaurateur Dionysiou up against Evans; Stoke online qualifier and former Deepstack finalist Gary Strang; UKIPT Nottingham side-event finalist Van Phan, Peterborough’s finest Tommy Bingham; former Deepstack winner Mo Sadiq and Liam Batey from Sheffield, Matthew Lewis from Bradford and another player who chose to remain anonymous.
The man from Bradford Lewis was the first to fall. He jammed with A-2 and was snapped off by Sadiq, who had AJ and held.
Strang then went out in spectacular fashion as he jammed with queens, finding himself up against the 9-9 of Sadiq. The first card out was a nine, the second a queen, making Strang the huge favourite, unfortunately Sadiq hit the one outer on the river which was greeted by celebration and shock from the on looking rail.
This left Strang on 100K which he duly got in against two others. Evans, covered Strang and his other opponent and eliminated two players with his 10s holding against nines and A-5.
Bingham then got in on the action setting Pham in. Phan mucked when Bingham showed his quad aces and made his way to the cash desk.
Batey, who may have been frustrated as the shortstack shoved 3-4 suited and was called by Greek Jack in the big blind. The board ran out ace high eliminating Batey in fourth.
Bingham then found himself very short and had to call off for the rest of his stack with JH-8H. He turned his flush but was up against the AH-10S of Evans who rivered a fourth heart for the nut flush.
